A source said: “Paul and Summer have struck up a close friendship — the age gap between them doesn’t seem to be a problem.
“Summer is only 22 but is very mature for her age. She has told friends that she believes that they could, in the future, become a couple.”

Her friends would post pictures of Hollywood to her social media from when he wore the Nazi uniform.

How did Paul respond to the Nazi uniform photo revelations?

In the pictures, taken before he joined Bake Off, Paul was wearing a red swastika armband as part of his outfit.

Responding to the publication of the images, Paul said he was "devastated" to have caused any offence, but insisted he and pals were dressing as 'Allo 'Allo characters en-route to a themed party.

In a statement, he said: "I am absolutely devastated if this caused offence to anyone, the picture was taken 14 years ago en route to a Comedy TV Shows Themed New Year's Eve Party and a group of us dressed up as characters from the classic TV show 'Allo 'Allo.

"Everyone who knows me, knows I am incredibly proud of the efforts of those, including my own grandfather, who fought against the Nazis during the war."
